About ClarID-Tools
ClarID-Tools is developed at CNAG, Barcelona, Spain, as the reference command-line implementation of the ClarID identifier approach.
Scope
Subject and biosample IDs
Encoding and decoding for the two ClarID entity types currently implemented by the toolkit.
Controlled vocabularies
YAML codebook support for labels, aliases, compact stubs, and project-specific vocabulary choices.
Schema-backed checks
JSON Schema validation for codebook structure before identifiers are generated or decoded.
Operational workflows
Reproducible command-line examples, QR-code workflows, and GDC-derived use cases.
Relationship to the Paper
The paper describes the motivation, identifier design, and intended use. This documentation describes the CLI, codebook model, and behavior of the current ClarID-Tools release.
Development
ClarID-Tools is developed and maintained by Manuel Rueda at CNAG.
